Prerequisites

Educational organisation (text)

Within the Music Practice component, the student will participate in ensembles, productions, master classes, projects and/or study tours. This takes place in ensembles or within the
context of the class or professional group, whether or not in co-production with external organizations.

Masterclasses and class projects will be communicated to students at the beginning of the academic year; their attendance is mandatory. Participation in study tours (if applicable) is highly recommended.

Assignment of students to ensembles and productions is done through the production team in consultation with the instrument or voice teachers and/or department chairs. However, students have the opportunity to indicate their preference for particular projects through their instrument or voice teacher.

In addition to the Musician's Practice course component, students may take additional projects or productions through the elective course component 'extension Musician's Practice'.
